  It would seem that, recently, spam has been deleted instead of being sent to Siberia.

  Some of the spam in Siberia has also been deleted.

  Are we lacking server storage space?

  I’m only bringing this up because some spammy threads evolve into interesting conversations, and that spam has tradititionaly been outcasted to Siberia where mods and users throw eggs on the spammers.

  Just my 0.02 ?.  :D

  We’ve been deleting most that have little or no commentary. Plus, I just get tired of seeing the fora spammed and delete much of it on sight. I rarely touch what is already in Siberia, however.

  Thanks Intruder.

  I figured it was something of the sort, just wanted to be sure.

  We may now send this thread to Siberia.

  On another note:

  There doesn’t seem to be much spam filtering in the iPod Observer Forums.  :x

  Some spam threads have been there untouched for a few months.
